BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.


 Miss Ada Gray made her second appear anee at the Grand Opera House last night. Miss Gray captivated her audience by her fine acting and in the finer portions of the drama, "East Lynne,'' in which she had full scope for the display of her talents, was warmly applauded. There is in the scene between F'Lady Isabel' and her child that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin. It is the wounded, tortured, sinful mother repressing her agony of love for her dying child, and the profusion of human sympathy which words may not read fly convey. The death bed scene was also admirably rendered, and the fall of the cur tain announced the close of an admirable dramatic nerformance.

TRAINS STALLED HIN THE SNOW. The Greatest Blockade on the Road in
 Fifteen Years.

The Greatest Blockade on the Road i'm
 Fifteen Years.
 EAsToN, Pa., Dec. 19.-The snow storm here Saturday night caused the greatest blockade on the railroad experienced since 1872. By six o'clock the Lehigh Valley road was blockade with trains from Easton to Redington. All the laborers on the road be- tween here and Mauch Chunk were working from midnight Saturday to o'clock Sunday night shoveling snow. The snow was two feet deep on a level and three to five feet in drifts. Ten coal trains were blocked on the Susquehanna road between here and Allentown. Three locomotives coupled to- gether started from Hampton, N. J., to open the Jersey Central road, but jumped the track after going a few miles. Five coal trains were snowbound at Pinchers on the Belvidere Delaware road several hours. Three passenger trains, eight freight trains and twenty coal trains were blocked on the Morris and Essex road between Rackettstown and Washington, noon. At Semerville the snow was six feet deep and at Perth Amboy eight feet deep. Drifts were fifteen feet deep. All the roads are now open, but trains are behind time. The roofs of several buildings at Phillips burg were crushed in by the snow's weight.
 READING, Pa, Dec. 19.-Fre1ght and coa traffic on the Reading road is still consid- erably delayed owing to the recent fall of snow which is the heaviest in several years, measuring twenty inches on 8 level. About twenty coal trains are side tracked between here and Tuckerton and as many more south of Reading. Trains will be moving again to night.

REFORM HIN THE CUSTOMS LAWS. A E8iII compiled by the Senate Finance Committed.
 1 WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-The Senate finance committee to-day authorized Senator Allison l to report to the Senate tomorrow the bill compiled by the special committee on under valuations which has for two years been studying the subject of reform of the custom l administrative laws relating to the appraise- 1 ment of imported merchandise. The bill contained twenty-one sections and repeals all other laws to appraisements and customs I administrations. It does away with mer- chant appraisers and with the right of i'm | porters to appeal from reappraisements to the courts on the Secretary of the Treasury. | It provides for nine general appraisers at salaries of $5,00O to whom are given the power of final decision in all questions of classification and appTaisement The duties l of customs officers and the requirements as | to invoices, entries, etc., are more clearly defined Penalties for offering or accepting ! bribes and for attempted evasions of duty are made more severe. It is provided that in- voices must give the actual market value of | imported merchandise at the place Of pur- chase or production. Appraising off cers are authorized to use every | DrOD6r means 1 correctness of invoices and in cases of under valuation to the extent of five per cent. pen alties will attach forfeitures in cases of twen- | tv per cent. undervaluatien. The burden of proof is placed upon importers instead of customs officers in cases of apparent fraud. The system of damage allowances is wholly abolished. Coverings in which merchandise l is imported are to be included in estimating the value upon which duty is assessed. The
 bonded warehouse system is not in any way changed by the bill. Fees and oaths are done away with so far as possible.
 THE WAR RUMBLHNGSE HIN EUROPE. Preparations For Emergencies Quietly Going On at Bucharest.

FARM HELP.

The employment of farm laborers is
always difficult task, especially if the
farmer himself is away from home con-
siderable portion of the time, for then
he wants both faithful and an in
telligent man, one who can be made to
take an interest in the farm, and who
knows enough to take the lead when his
master is away; such men are not plenty,
but they can be found, yet as a rule when
found they are engaged, because when a
farmer finds such man he is very likely
to keep him year after year. a man who
is anything near what he ought to be is
better the second than he is the first year
because he better understands the wants
of his master, and also better understands
the condition and wants at the farm. 1t
is poor policy to change farm laborers
unless there is good cause for it. There
is. however. one class of men who will do
tirst-rate the first year. quite inditferently
the second year, and he an intolerable
nuisance the third year; such men need
to change places every y9ar. The farmer
who expects to get tirSt-class laborers and
keep them many years should pay them
promptly every week if they desire it,
and never let month slip by without a
settlement; better hire the money to do
this than to make the men wait. 1t is a
good rule to adopt to always pay a work
man what money he asks for if it is due
him. \ farmer who does this will always
be able to get men at less price than can
those who are never ready to pay. and
will keep their men out of their money
until the end of the year if possible

of more salt than this is to cater to
taste for a salt flavor acquired by habit.
As soon as one becomes accustomed to
the salt solution sailing, about half an
ounce to the pound, he discovers that
butter flavor, and the sharper salt flavor
in butter are not in degree, but of kind,
and so prefers the former. Butter, like
huckwheat cakes, should be eaten when
young. The practice of making butter
and then keeping it for months for a
''rise," is wrong. Butter never is as
perfect as it is the first week; and, if
possible. the production of butter should
be so equalized that the consumption
should keep place with production, and
do away with the summer oversupply
that loads down the market. brings low
prices, and consigns thousands of tons of
good butter-in its day-to the grease
rendering factories.

CORN.STARCH PUDDING.

make my plain corn-starch pudding
as follows: One pint of rich new milk,
two tabespoonfuls of corn starch. Il
scant half-cupful of sugar, the whites of
four eggs and little salt. Put the milk
over the fire. when boilng-hot add the
sugar. then the corn-starch which should
be dissolved in little cold milk. Stir
constantly until smooth. then add the
whites beaten to Il stiff froth. Stir Il
few moments on the back of the stove
and turn into mold. Dip the mold into
cold water before turning in the corn
starch. Turn out when cold and eat with
soft custard made of pint of milk, Il
half cup of sugar and the beaten yolks of
the eggs. Put these ingredients together
cold into a small tin dish. and set into Il
dish of boiling water. Stir until it thick
ems. When cold flavor with vanilla. One
change of this pudding that we enjoy
very much is this /: When that part of
the pudding turn into the mold is done,
stir in cupful of grated cocoanut, and
then turn out. This is delicious. An
other pretty variation is to take out a
third of the white corn starch while hot,
and add to it three spoonfuls of grated
chocolate melted in very small quantity
of milk. Now put into the mold layer
of the white, then the chocolate and COW
er with the white. Again, you may vary
the plain pudding by dropping seeded
raisnS or small pieces of citron into the
corn starch As you turn it into the mold.
